This video is a compilation of Canadian troops in various stages of firefights with the Taliban in Afghanistan. They aren't wearing "red coats" as FOX NEWS' REDEYE show says they wear in combat. Poor FOX NEWS. They are pathetically ignorant.TURN UP YOUR SPEAKERSWATCH VIDEO HERE:http://www.youtube.com/v/Wmp5Lesx5RU&hl=en&fs=1CLICK ON DIAMOND-SHAPED ARROW TO PLAY VIDEO

The two-bit little jerks who appear on the FOX NEWS "REDEYE" program belittled the Canadian soldiers in Afghanistan the other night and said they were nothing but "targets" with their Red Coats. Do the clowns at FOX NEWS and their stupid "REDEYE" show see any Canadian troops wearing "red coats" in this video of a firefight between Canadian soldiers in Afghanistan and the Taliban?FOX NEWS should be ashamed of themselves for making a joke of the brave Canadian soldiers over in Afghanistan.TURN UP YOUR SPEAKERSWATCH VIDEO HERE:http://www.youtube.com/v/7QUMilPEFFU&hl=en&fs=1CLICK ON DIAMOND-SHAPED ARROW TO PLAY VIDEO

A tribute i made to our Canadian Soldiers fighting in Afghanistan. I wish to join them within the next 2 years sometime and am damn proud of this country and its contributions around the world!...anonymous.This video is posted in return to the morons at FOX NEWS and their "REDEYE" program who claimed the other night that all the Canadian soldiers are nothing more than chickens. You can see with your own eyes what the little twerps at FOX NEWS' "REDEYE" had to say about Canadian troops by clicking on this link: http://corksphere.blogspot.com/2009/03/fox-news-bashes-canada-and-their-dying.htmlTURN UP YOUR SPEAKERS TO SEE CANADIAN SOLDIER TRIBUTE WHICH PROVES FOX NEWS ARE ALL A BUNCH OF FILTHY LIARS:WATCH VIDEO HERE:http://www.youtube.com/v/K0tbJq2mMFQ&hl=en&fs=1CLICK ON DIAMOND-SHAPED ARROW TO PLAY THIS VIDEO

The little twerps on FOX NEWS "REDEYE" show claimed the other night that Canadian soldiers were all a bunch of chickens and now we are out to prove just how wrong FOX NEWS is and how they owe an apology to every Canadian soldier in Afghanistan to the Canadian people. The worst part of all this is there is not a single person at FOX NEWS who has ever served in the military in combat. They are all too chicken. Could you imagine Bill O'Reilly or Sean Hannity in the military? What a laugh. Both of them would would have been victims of "friendly fire" if they had been in my Army Combat Engineer Company during the Korean War. Someday the American people are going to wake up and realize FOX NEWS is not an American news network, but a right wing piece of propaganda garbage more in keeping with the Third Reich.In this video, you will see Canadian soldiers fighting and dying in Afghanistan and if you still want to believe the crap FOX NEWS puts out then I feel sorry for you because you are dumber than a box of rocks.TURN UP YOUR SPEAKERSWATCH VIDEO HERE:http://www.youtube.com/v/Q9LUdI4LCh8&hl=en&fs=1CLICK ON DIAMOND-SHAPED ARROW TO PLAY VIDEO

In a previous post, we ran a video of FOX NEWS' "REDEYE" twerps making fun of the Canadian soldiers who are dying in Afghanistan. We suggest EVERYONE at FOX NEWS take a look at this video and then explain how they could be so dumb as to say the Canadian soldiers in Afghanistan are just a bunch of chickens. There is a lot of profanity here which is something FOX NEWS idiots have never heard because NOBODY at FOX NEWS has ever been in military combat.TURN UP YOUR SPEAKERSWATCH VIDEO HERE:http://www.youtube.com/v/DIAfS0HNUVU&hl=en&fs=1CLICK ON DIAMOND-SHAPED ARROW TO PLAY THIS VIDEO

It's obvious US citizens do not all feel this way. We are bloods brothers in more ways than we often give credit. FOX NEWS' Redeye is a small group of twits that should have a crap out of their ars' before they open their stupid mouths. This video shows how the citizens of Canada react to how FOX NEWS makes fun of the Canadian soldiers who have been killed in Afghanistan.This is not the first time FOX NEWS has made a joke of Canadian soldiers dying in Afghanistan.The sickening part about this video is NONE of the people on the FOX NEWS video ever served a day of their lives in the United States military and yet they have the gall to make fun of Canadian soldiers who have been killed in Afghanistan.WATCH VIDEO HERE: http://www.youtube.com/v/Vj-DVIR17JE&hl=en&fs=1CLICK ON DIAMOND-SHAPED ARROW TO WATCH THIS VIDEO

Story HighlightsWounded soldier gets billed $3,000 for wounds suffered in Iraq"I put my life on the line ... and they're not going to take care of my medical bills?"Army Sgt. Erik Roberts was wounded in April 2006; he's had 13 surgeries on his legSen. Sherrod Brown of Ohio urged the VA to act; VA agrees to pay bill

(CNN) -- Erik Roberts, an Army sergeant who was wounded in Iraq, underwent his 13th surgery recently to save his right leg from amputation. Imagine his shock when he got a bill for $3,000 for his treatment.

"I just thought it was bull---- that I'm getting billed for being wounded in Iraq doing my job. I always put the mission first, and now that I was wounded in Iraq, they're sending me bills," he said."I put my life on the line and I was wounded in combat, and I came back and they're not going to take care of my medical bills?"

It's a level of outrage shared by his mother, as well as the doctor who performed the surgery."It's hard to understand why we're not taking care of guys like Erik whose injuries are clearly related to their service. They deserve the best care of anybody," said Dr. William Obremskey, an Air Force veteran and surgeon at Vanderbilt Orthopaedics in Nashville, Tennessee."For him to be responsible for $3,000, I think, is a little ridiculous or is uncalled for, particularly in this situation."

His mother, Robin Roberts, put it more succinctly: "Why should any soldier pay one penny of a medical bill from injuries that occurred while they were fighting in a war? That's what really frustrates me."

The Department of Veterans Affairs has now decided to pay his bill, but only after prodding from a U.S. senator who got involved after CNN brought it to his attention.

Roberts, of Warren, Ohio, is one of more than 31,100 U.S. troops to have been wounded in Iraq. An additional 4,262 have died in the war.

Roberts and his buddies, A.J. Jefferson and Luke Murphy, were badly wounded and bleeding on the ground after jumping from the burning vehicle. They were saved by comrades who rushed to help them.

"The truck automatically filled with smoke. There was fire coming from the middle of the truck. And I just feel my whole right side just like kind of explode," Roberts said. "I thought at that moment that my life was over, so I started praying."

All three soldiers survived the attack, but Murphy lost his leg. Days later, on his 23rd birthday, Roberts returned to the States. He underwent a series of life-saving surgeries, including 12 different ones to repair his fractured right leg. A metal rod was inserted in his upper leg to help the fracture heal.Continue reading: http://www.cnn.com/2009/US/03/26/wounded.warrior/index.html

Video shows what the rugged terrain of Afghanistan looks like from the air. President Obama has committed 17,000 more U.S. troops to this area to fight the Taliban in these mountains and valleys. The Brits and Russians couldn't defeat the Afghans and now the Americans will have a chance to see if they can do it. Only time will tell.TURN UP YOUR SPEAKERSWATCH VIDEO HERE:http://www.youtube.com/v/SJjZdCZM_vc&hl=en&fs=1CLICK ON DIAMOND-SHAPED ARROW TO PLAY VIDEO
